Africa is famous for its large, charismatic mammals, and the Big Five epitomize the most sought-after of these fantastic beasts. As visitors’ and the public’s interests expanded from the Big Five, and an appreciation for lesser mammals, birds and smaller wildlife has became more widespread, the term Little Five was coined.

As you drive along you see plenty of mole rats too, if you like mammals. And the biggest staris also a mammal, the Ethiopian Wolf. Common Choughs are typically a species of Europe and Asia, and one I failed for years to see in Wales. Desperately endangered, they are reasonably easy to see here, and pretty much only here.

Jeff Gordon and I were wandering around the seriously disturbed habitat behind the airport hotel we stayed in outside of Budapest when a bizarre mammal about the size of an opossum crossed the path in front of us. There are seventeen species of hedgehog found across Europe, Asia, and Africa, the only places where hedgehogs are native.

Hence, it was a bit of an annoyance to be forced to hire a general nature guide who knows mostly mammals. In the end, this guide is what we were awaiting for quite some time, possibly since Nigel Wheatley’s Where to Watch Birds in Asia from 1996. Cons: • inconsistent coverage – some reserves covered in far more details than others.

That bald head, so odd and homely, is actually an adaptation for sticking one’s head deep inside the gut of a deceased mammal. They primarily prey on the large mammals of the African plains, grasslands stretching from horizon to horizon. Feathers can attract gunk, and gunk means bacteria, and bacteria means illness.

I’m a big fan of the antelopes, a group that is most commonly associated with Africa but which also occurs in Asia and, if you stretch the term to be cladistically meaningful, Europe and North America. By this I mean applying the term antelope to cover all of the family Bovidae, which would include the sheep, goats and ox.

” The Wels Catfish, Silurus glanis , is the second largest fish in its range, which covers much of Europe and parts of West Asia. As noted, the fish-like mammals do this as well. Some (but not most) killer whales beach themselves on land or ice to get at sea mammals or penguins, and some dolphins do similar things.
